Your Views Letters to the editor. Smoke deters. bingo players "If it was banned, maybe more people would go." Dear Editor: Congratulations Strathroy on your No Smoking Bingo for about a year now. The times we have been hack were enjoyed indeed. My wife and I went to Exeter bingo Thursday night. The smoke in there was unreal. The air was blue. They ban smoking in a lot of places for our health. Why not the bingo halls? Oh, they think the smokers won't come. They might quit for awhile but they willrk3r2 is.fi d` oiCi a " comes addict ve';,1oriy ht peopile. • My wife likes to go so in the winter I go with her sometimes. In the summer I am too busy.

It's too bad as Exeter bingo is one of my favour- ite, close by, friendly people and fun games but so smoky. I even asked if they could turn the air on for a few minutes to clear theair two times, but to no avail. Some of the people get cold. Well, slip your jacket on. Which is better, breathing in all that smoke or being a bit chilly? I am not criticizing the smokers. If they want to smoke, that's their business but, when it comes to the rest of our health, it isn't fair. What they also could do is instead of taking a 20 minutes break, why not take two ten minute breaks uand'fet the Ie have,achance to go,outside.and ,"t✓,,i'kat of ou l0�►r, Y l�pt� . � 'SiyL there.

Clarification A reference made to a Robert McIntosh in the March 13 court re- port in the Times -Advocate did not include the address of the accused. The person referred to in the ar- ticle is not the Robert McIntosh of 508 Huron St., Exeter. The Times- Advocate apologizes for any in- convenience this story may have caused. Now? Where Are They Now? is an extended series on South Huron District High School graduates and their career choices Bevan Bonthron: seIiIng funeral supplies LONDON - "My type of sales job is not your traditional type of sales job," said Bevan Bonthron, referring to selling funeral home supplies. Working within a. throe -hour radius of his home in London, Bonthron sells to 225 funeral homes in Southwestern Ontario for Alton Caskets, a regional distributor of funeral items. He's been with the company for about 10 years and is its only salesperson. , Much of his stock consists of caskets but he sells many other funeral articles including cards, urns, crucifixes, racks and car flags. Every five weeks he makes calls to his clients, including those in the Henson area where he was raised. Bonthron represents the third generation in his family to work in the funeral business. While attending South Huron District High School, he knew what carer direction he was headed in. "It seemed like a natural thing to do," he said, "(to) go into the casket sales when that oppor(unity became available." , . After working at his father's furniture store and funeral home to complete his two-year apprenticeship for his Funeral Service Education worse at Humber College, he obtained his Wader Pat eral Director's Licence. His business administration course at Ryerson Polytechnicttl Institute also proved beneficitd *hen he purchased the family business in 1973. Nine years later, he closed the store and moved to London where he worked for an auMion business for a few years before becoming a asks agent for four Ontario furniture companies. 'He now sells more thin 70 dii%tent models of caskets from cloth to solid walnut versions. Many Canadians, he finds, prefer wooden caskets with satin, crepe or velvet interiors. Bonthron feels in order to succeed in the business, "You have to like people, you have to like driving," and "you have to be self -motivated." He enjoys the variety his job offers along with the socializing and pnnblem-solving he encounters. "Having the funeral background, I can deal effectively with -the funeral directors,;". he explained. Although he finds living it the north end of • London cone entbecausee it's cent's) to his work travel area, he's still thinks about the *tea he grew up in. "i sdn hive a soft spot for tele Heiden, Exeter area," he said. "It still feels like home." Bonthron's hobbies include jogging and spending dine with his wife, Bonnie, and their family at a 'Cottage near Grand Bend.
